Instead of using a tow dolly (only raises 2 wheels off the ground) or 
spending the hundreds of dollars on flat bedding/towing your new 
purchase there is another alternative. What I did when I got my D 
(was not drivable at ALL) was I went to the local Uhaul place and 
rented a full car caddy. I'm not talking about the ones that just 
prop up the front wheels (or rear) to tow, you actually push/drive 
the entire car, all four wheels, onto it. The cost was like $40 to 
rent for the day! If you don't have a hitch on the back of your car, 
grab a buddy who does and tell him you'll buy him a beer :).
